i ran off the road 2 weeks ago. Thanks John Deer, Jane Doe. and i hit a rock. well needless to say it bent the rear wheel just barly enough to tell im still driving it. but when theres snow on the ground i can really feel it kick the straight wheel out. this is what i was wondering. what would the first thing to give on that suspension in the back. i dont think it would of bent the main hub set up. with how small and not thick the control arms are. im thinking the front lower control arm since thats the way its bent. would it of bent that main support peace that goes from next to the front control arm up towards the body. im not sure what its called but like a drag link that goes up on both sides. im wondering if i should replace both too see what happened.

Take it to an alignment shop and have them check it out. They will be able to tell you what is bent, usually for no charge, you can replace what's broken. Plus take it back because you'll need an alignment after. -
Fortunately, the rear suspension setup is pretty simple, easy to replace, and rarely damaged in anything but an extreme case such as yours... so junkyard parts will be easy to find and good to use. At least I think CB9s have the same rears as CB7s (wagons are far less common in the junkyards!)
Do you have rear discs? This might be the time to convert if you don't.
